MAGNETIC TAPE HAVING CHARACTERIZED MAGNETIC LAYER SURFACE, MAGNETIC TAPE CARTRIDGE, AND MAGNETIC TAPE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18516455 titled 'MAGNETIC TAPE HAVING CHARACTERIZED MAGNETIC LAYER SURFACE, MAGNETIC TAPE CARTRIDGE, AND MAGNETIC TAPE DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a magnetic tape with a low vertical switching field distribution (SFD) and specific abrasion values on the surface of the magnetic layer. Here are some key points from the abstract:

  • Vertical switching field distribution (SFD) of the magnetic tape is 1.5 or less.
  • AlFeSil abrasion value of the magnetic layer surface at a tilt angle of 45° is between 20 μm to 50 μm.
  • Standard deviation of the AlFeSil abrasion value at tilt angles of 0°, 15°, 30°, and 45° is 30 μm or less.
  • The tilt angle of the AlFeSil prism is defined by the longitudinal direction of the prism and the width direction of the magnetic tape.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in data storage devices, magnetic recording systems, and archival storage solutions.

Problems Solved

This innovation helps in reducing signal noise, improving data integrity, and enhancing the durability of magnetic tapes.
